Sights Around Tampa

I mentioned in an earlier post that I attended the Social Work State Conference in Tampa and really learned a lot. But, when visiting any place you know my motto: "Be sure to look around, and if possible take a picture." In that spirit, I have created a multimedia video to highlight some of the sights around Tampa.

Chrissy,I am sure it is lit at night because it is so long, however there are 3 long bridges that connect St Pete and Sarasota to Tampa. Your friend could have taken pictures of any one of them. It is one of the longest bridges I have ever encountered. So long, that signs warn you to check your gas level before attempting to cross it. The area is a very interesting part of Florida.

On another note: The bridge is actually named the Frankland Bridge but even Google maps lists it as Franklin.

JLBO,Yes, the keys are a perfect example. But I must admit the George Frankland is right up there on the list. I had to take it to get to Sawgrass Lake Park. I mapped it out on Goggle maps (no GPS) and just thought it looked long on the map. When I saw the signs about making sure you had enough gas to get across I knew the map was done to scale. It is a very long bridge...
